You just bought a special car for about 12% of what it cost new. The chassis is almost completely made of aluminum and great lengths were taken in order to keep the center of gravity as low as possible. The engine is a marvel of complexity compared to those in more mundane vehicles. It's a 2- seater sports car with a convertible roof. It's an icon and the mfg has a long history rich in motorsport victories. The running costs will probably be higher than a camry or focus but the car offers much that 'rational' vehicles don't. You have the weekend to decide if you want to give it a shot or not. The people at this forum said 'ye'. Is there any history with the car?

Thank you, all of you. I am breathing much easier now.

I'll get the 60,000 mile service done (there are no records with the car) and just enjoy it. And I'll do as suggested and set aside a "maintenance" fund for my silver buddy.

Pics to come soon.
